41 Day Maximum Speedup Aims to Streamline Trials in Seattle
A 90 day experiment led by King County judges prosecutors and lawyers seeks to bring felony cases to trial within 41 days of arrest or 34 days if pled guilty. Current timelines average 41 to 5 months for trial and 342 to 4 months for guilty pleas as reforms introduce daily calendars and plea bargaining. The plan emphasizes timely trials without compromising justice and includes random assignment of plea calendars and faster use of office technology.
